	Unspoken

They were driving along the freeway on their way to visit the Hollywood sign. Jack had his feet up on the dashboard and was singing softly along to the music. It was the same mix-tape Alex had created for him back when they were sixteen, they'd had to buy a special blue-tooth transmitter to connect the cassette player to the car since they no longer came built-in. It sounded like garbage but neither of them seemed to mind.

They did this every time they were both in LA. They would head up to the Hollywood sign, have a picnic and chat shit for a few hours before heading back to Jack's where they had epic sex and beer.

Well, the sex at Jack's was new. Before he moved out there permanently it was sex in the hotel, or the bus, or the venue bathroom, or that one time in an empty parking lot where they were caught by some old lady and had to run off before she called the cops on them.

The sex itself was old news, something that had been going on since they were fifteen. Hell, Jack was Alex's first and Alex was his. Alex knew he should feel guilty, hell he had a fiancé for crying out loud, but he didn't. Alex wasn't sure he'd ever be able to give up this unspoken thing with Jack, even if he wanted to.

He knew it wasn't normal for friends to do the things they did, but they'd always been more than friends. He didn't really know how to explain it, but it just felt so right. The slow sensual kisses, the sex, the cuddling up in too small bunks on quiet nights whilst the others were asleep. It had always meant the world to Alex and he knew Jack felt the same.

They parked up and prepared themselves for the couple hours of walking ahead of them. "Race you to the top." Jack sent him a mischievous grin and Alex knew it's was a bad idea. He'd just never been able to resist that look.

They were soon sorely reminded of the fact they weren't teenagers any more. "Oh, god. I'm dead. Go on without me." Jack panted as he dropped down onto the grass, laying down on his back and covering his eyes with his arms. Alex stopped next to him, out of breath with a stitch that ran the length of his right side. He really needed to start taking Zack up of his offer to be gym buddies.

"Jack, I'm not leaving you here." They were barely a third of the way up.   
"Then you're going to have to carry me the rest of the way." Alex rolled his eyes. That was so not happening. He dropped down next to Jack with a sigh. "Don't be so melodramatic."

They both took some time to recover, sipping water and getting their breathing back under control. The view was stunning, even from so low down, and not for the first time Alex was reminded of just how lucky he was.

They had to make a few more stops along the way but eventually, they reached the summit. Jack insisted on them taking a terrible, cheesy selfie with the sign in the background before they sat down to eat.

They sat there for what could have been hours but could have been mere seconds because time meant nothing when they were together. 

They talked and laughed and Alex had to wipe tears from his eyes he was laughing so hard. He'd never had fun like this with anyone else, not even Lisa. Jack just knew him so well, it was impossible not to have fun after all these years. He'd found his soul mate in Jack, his other half, his matching puzzle piece. He truly loved him for it.

The smile dropped from Alex's face as the realisation hit him like a brick wall. He loved Jack; he was in love with his best friend. Always has been, probably always would be and it had taken him up until that moment to realise it. Jack was the love of his fucking life and he had almost completely missed it.

"Lex, you okay?" The sudden change in Alex was obvious, well to Jack at least. Most people probably wouldn't have seen the difference, the sudden tension in his shoulders, the panic and realisation in his eyes, but Jack noticed it all. He'd known Alex far too intimately for far too long now not to know when something was going on, and right now it was something huge.

"Jack, marry me." Jack stared at him for a long moment. Trying to figure out just what the hell was going on. Surely he couldn't be serious?  
"You realise you can't be married to two people at once right?"

Jack was always going to be the first to admit that things ran far deeper than friendship between him and Alex, that there was always going to be this unnamed, deep connection between them that most would probably describe as love. But they had never really pulled on that thread.

They had both spent years chasing women by day and sneaking around in dark corners sharing passionate kisses and unspoken promises by night. It was just how things had always worked and Jack was okay with that. He knew he'd always have a piece of Alex's heart, even if he had to share it.

Alex was engaged to Lisa. Jack liked Lisa, she was amazing. She'd always been good for Alex and Alex had always been head over heels for the girl. Even during there off time, they'd never really managed to be just friends. So why the sudden change of heart?

"I'll end things with Lisa." Jack felt his eyes widen in shock. He really was being serious right now.  
"Lex..." He began but was cut off.   
"Jack I love you, I always have. I can't believe it's taken me this long to realise that's what this is but it seems so clear now. You're the one, you always have been." Jack nodded slowly, still feeling completely blindsided. "Okay... but why the sudden urge to change things between us?"

Alex seemed a little surprised that Jack wasn't arguing with him. Trying to deny what they both knew to be true due to its sudden acknowledgement. Putting things into words made them real and scary and Jack had never exactly been fond of either of those things. 

"I'm too old to keep playing games and sneaking around. I wanna settle down, get married and just live my life happy." Alex had always been a bit of an old-school romantic in that sense. Jack had always found it endearing. "I know you've never really seen that for yourself. I won't take offence if you're not interested, but that'll be it for anything between us. You'll always be the love of my life but..." He shrugged trailing off and Jack's stomach twisted violently.

It wasn't that Jack didn't want to settle down. To get married, maybe start a family one-day. It was just that he'd never been able to picture himself doing it with anyone other than Alex and he'd always assumed that wasn't an option. But now it was, now Alex was giving it to him as an option; right here right now. It was so sudden and fast and it was now or never. Jack felt sick.

"Oh god say something, you're sending my anxiety through the roof right now." Jack didn't know what to say so instead he leant in and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips. The move startled them both. They were never affectionate in public.

"Lex." Jack began, pulling back just a little. "I get it. I love you; have since we were a couple of fifteen-year-olds laying under the stars in my parents back yard dreaming of the life we now live. But this is a little more complicated than that. I mean you have a fiancé; Lisa's already started planning all your wedding stuff right? And you have just kind of sprung this on me out of nowhere." Alex blushed a little at that. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

Alex looked down at the hands that were slowly wringing themselves in his lap but nodded. He turned to face Jack as he spoke again. "I think, deep down it's what I've always wanted. I just... got a little tangled up in my life outside of us. It always felt like I could never have more with you than what we already had, I was okay with it but I just needed more from life. I think it's why I always ended up coming back to Lisa, she could give me the things I thought I couldn't have with you... but we can. We can have everything if you want it too." The hope in Alex's eyes gave Jack a warm feeling in his chest. "Yeah." He agreed. "We can."

They both just sat staring at each other for a long moment, large grins slowly spreading across both their faces. "Does that mean...?"  
"Yeah... I guess it does." Jack had never seen him so elated.  
"Shit! Wow, that's... fuck. Oh my god. I need to get a ring." Jack laughed at Alex's inability to form a sentence, let alone a stable thought pattern. It seemed they were both in shock over this.

He lent in and recaptured Alex's lips. It was sweet and innocent as they both smiled into it and Jack was reminded of their first kiss. It had been raining and they'd been sat on Jack's back porch. Alex had had a huge argument with his parents and had shown up on Jack's doorstep with nowhere else to go. It was as magical now as it had been then.

"Here, I know." Alex mumbled, fishing his car keys from his pockets and removing a keyring. He removed the split ring from the chain before opening it up. He bent it around into a smaller circle before balling up the ends into a complicated-looking knot. Jack chuckled softly as Alex placed it onto his ring finger, it fit surprisingly well. 

Jack smiled brightly as he admired his new 'ring' before leaning in for another kiss. "We should go celebrate." He suggested, lips brushing against Alex's as he spoke. Alex nodded in agreement. "That sounds like an excellent idea."

They just about managed to get back to Jack's before they were all over each other. Sure they were going to have a lot of explaining to do and yes Alex had a very important and no doubt unpleasant conversation to have with his soon to be ex-fiance, but right now they just needed to be close. To rekindle and reaffirm this new change they were making together.

Jack carefully walked them back through the apartment to the bedroom, their lips were connected in a slow, sensual embrace as their hands wandered over familiar skin, committing the feeling to memory.

It felt like the first time all over again yet so much has changed, so much time has passed. They were not the same people they had been back then. But it was okay; they didn't need to be.

Alex shucked off his jacket and it hit the floor with a thud. It probably had his phone in it and he'd probably just cracked the screen... again. Jack couldn't help but smile into it as he pulled him closer. 

Alex took Jack's jacket off for him as he untied the flannel Alex had wrapped around his waist for no reason what so ever. It was a fashion statement he'd never really understand.

He gently lay him down on the bed, breaking the kiss so he could remove his own t-shirt. It joined the rest of their clothes on the floor before he climbed up onto the bed and straddled Alex's hips. He watched Jack with dark eyes before pulling him down into another kiss. It was full of emotion, speaking of nothing but love and desire. It sent shivers down Jack's spine.

Alex rolled them over and removed his t-shirt. Jack licked his lips as he looked up at him, he couldn't quite put his finger on it but things felt different now. It wasn't a bad thing necessarily, just... different.

Alex leant down and started sucking a hickey into Jack's collarbone as he started undoing Alex's belt. He didn't want to seem like he was rushing things along but he needed to feel his skin, the heat of it pressed flush against his own. It was the contact he craved, always had been with Alex. It was a level of intimacy no one else has ever been able to give him.

Alex didn't try to stop him, didn't comment as he lifted himself up slightly to make Jack's task easier. He kicked off his jeans before pulling off his boxers and Jack's eyes were roaming over the expanse of bare skin. He was beautiful in a way that was entirely his own and Jack had never really been able to put it into words.

Alex hovered over him, watching him in a way that he never had before. Like he was scared Jack was going to run away at any moment. All the while Jack couldn't imagine being anywhere else. 

It dawned on him that this was a pivotal moment for them, make or break. This was the moment where they either moved on from being best friends who fuck and love each other from afar to an actual couple who were planning on committing the rest of their lives to each other or they fell apart, went their separate ways and spent the rest of their lives looking back and wondering about what could have been.

He pulled Alex down to him, reconnecting their lips as he rolled them back over so he could remove his own jeans and boxers. 

"I love you." Alex whispered, eyes wide and unguarded; showing off every little flicker of emotion that was running through him. He was offering Jack the last pieces of his heart. Jack couldn't fuck this up, he'd never forgive himself if he did.

He simply leaned in and kissed him softly before whispering. "I love _you_ Alex. Always." It was the right thing to say. Alex's eyes shined a little, full of relief and love and pure joy. Jack was a little stunned that he'd managed to make that happen.

Now both fully nude, they kissed a little more urgently. Their legs tangled together as they continue to touch and feel and just enjoy the closeness. Jack felt like his very soul was slowly fusing itself with Alex's as they lay there, making their silent vows; this was it, this was them, this was forever.

Jack gasped a little when he finally pushed his way inside of Alex. The action itself was nothing new, it was something he'd done hundreds of times before, but the meaning behind it, the situation around it, it was all completely different now. He felt like they were becoming one in a whole new way.

"Jack." His voice was barely above a whisper and Jack slowly pulled back from where he had buried his face in Alex's neck. He looked into his eyes and they mirrored everything he was feeling inside. The sudden realisation, the joy, the slight fear that underlined it all. They were both so out of their depth right now, but it was a comfort to be doing it together.

Alex gave a slight nod and Jack began to move. They both just stared into each other's eyes a few moments, neither quite able to believe what was happening. It felt overwhelmingly good. The spell was soon broken as Alex moaned softly, eyes closing a little.

Jack put all his weight onto one arm and entwined their fingers, placing their joined hands next to Alex's head as he gave him a serene smile. It was a moment of pure bliss as Alex used his free hand to hold Jack closer as their lips met once more.

Things slowly grew intense and Jack's movements gained force and purpose. Alex wrapped his legs around his waist, pulling Jack in deeper; a move that had always driven Jack crazy. They both groaned loudly at the heightened sensation.

The bed was banging hard against the wall by the time Alex reached his climax. He coated both their stomachs and the face he pulled was still the hottest thing Jack had ever seen. The slightly dazed look that followed was just as gorgeous and it wasn't long before Jack found his own release, deep inside his lover.

They lay there a while, wrapped up in each other's arms with Alex's cum slowly drying between them. The feeling of contentment and rightness settled in as they both came to the conclusion that there was no turning back now.

"We should probably go shower." Alex was the first to break the silence. Jack nodded in agreement but didn't even attempt to move. He felt drained but he also felt full of life. It was an odd juxtaposition but he wasn't quite ready to lose it just yet. Alex chuckled softly and ran a hand through his hair.

Unfortunately, they had to face the rest of the world sooner or later and deal with the inevitable aftermath of their decision. They showered and dressed and as Alex dropped down on Jack's couch and watched the beauty of the buzzing city all around them he was left wanting just a little more time to enjoy the moment.

"You want a beer?" Jack asked as he came out from the bedroom, rubbing a towel through his still-damp hair.  
"Yeah. That'd be good." He pressed a kiss to Alex's cheek before heading towards the kitchen. Alex couldn't stop himself smiling.

Despite his protests, the real world came calling sooner than Alex had hoped in the form of Rian Dawson. "Hey man." Alex greeted, watching Jack pull two bottles from the refrigerator. "Please tell me you guys are almost here?"

Alex frowned and Jack paused in place, sending him a quizzical look. "What do you mean?" They'd finished doing album press for the day, what else could there be? "It's the Hustler Club listening party tonight, remember?" Alex swore, rubbing a hand over his face. He'd totally forgotten about that. "Shit. Right. You guys still at the hotel?" Sensing the change of plans Jack put the bottles back and leant against the doorframe, waiting to hear what was going on. "Yeah man, get here asap. We gotta leave at six-thirty."

They disconnected and Jack raised an inquisitive eyebrow. "We've got to head back to the hotel. It's the listening party tonight."  
"I totally forgot we were doing that." He admitted with a sigh as he joined Alex on the couch.

"So... are we telling people?" Alex considered it a moment. It had been an intensely crazy day and Alex had been hoping to have the rest of it just for them. That wasn't going to happen. 

"Not the fans." He said finally. "Not yet anyway. We should probably tell Zack and Rian though." Jack nodded in agreement.   
"What about Lisa?" Alex sighed, chewing on his lower lip.   
"I really need to have that conversation in person." He admitted. 

Jack could only nod once more, it was going to be devastating for her either was but having it over the phone would only be like rubbing salt into the wound. "We'll be in Baltimore in a couple of weeks." Jack offered and Alex nodded, clearly not looking forward to it.  
"She's probably gonna throw the ring at my head." 

Jack smiled a little at that, Lisa had always been a little firey. Never took anyone's shit, it was one of the things he liked about her. 

"Maybe do it somewhere public so she can't cause too much of a scene." Alex smiled at that.  
"We'll tell the others today but no one else till I've broken it to Lis. She deserves that much."

Rian answered the door to let them in. Both he and Zack were sat relaxing on the suite's sofa. Zack replaced his feet on Rian's lap when he sat back down. He was working on his laptop whilst Rian watched TV. Neither of them even blinked at the fact the pair walked in holding hands.

"So we have something to tell you guys." Jack started as they stood by the coffee table in front of the couch. Rian raised a disinterested eyebrow, mainly just annoyed they'd decided to block the TV, whilst Zack didn't even bother to look up.

"Jack and I are getting married." Alex stated when it became apparent that that was the best they were going to get. Neither of them really react.

"You know you can't legally be married to more than one person right?" Rian deadpanned making Zack smirk a little.  
"I'm ending things with Lisa." That was the bit that seemed to surprise them.   
"Oh. So you've finally decided to make a real go of this?" Jack and Alex exchanged a look. _What the hell does that mean?_

"What are you talking about?" Rian just shrugged.   
"I just mean that you guys have been doing the whole polyamorous thing for so long I figured that was just it."  
"I don't think it counts as polyamorous unless everyone involved knows." Zack finally looked up from his laptop. "Pretty sure Lisa doesn't know she's been sharing Alex all these years." Alex's jaw dropped, as Rian seemed to consider Zack's words.

"Hold up." Jack said, more than a little confused by the situation. "You guys knew?" They looked at him like he was an idiot.  
"We're not blind dude. You two have never exactly been subtle." Jack was shocked. He thought they'd been very damn subtle. Subtle enough that neither of them had even noticed their blossoming relationship. "It's not a big deal." Zack added. "Like we don't care. I mean it would have been nice if you'd told us yourselves but..." He shrugged.

Jack and Alex exchanged a look, neither too sure what to say. Thankfully they were saved by Alex's phone ringing with an incoming video call. _Lisa._ "Oh shit." He muttered, letting go of Jack's hand and heading towards one of the bedrooms.

"Hey Lis." He greeted as he sat down on the end of the bed. She had her bad news face on and it did nothing to ease Alex's nerves.  
"Alex." She sounded close to tears.  
"Is everything okay?" He asked wearily. He had a bad feeling and he knew her well enough to know something was very wrong.  
"No." She said with a sigh, fidgeting uncomfortably. _Oh god._

A million different scenarios ran through his head as they both just stared at each other. _Please don't be pregnant._ Things were complicated enough right now without her springing that on him. Not that she knew that of course. 

"I hate that I'm doing this over the phone." She said after a long pause. "But I couldn't wait another two weeks until you got back." Alex frowned, he had no idea where this is going but there was a knot in his stomach and he'd started to sweat. "What's going on?" She sighed and looked at him with a mix of despair and determination. "Alex I've met someone."

Relief washed over him at that. Perhaps it was the fact he'd been seeing two people on and off almost his entire romantic life, or maybe it was just because of how weird a day it had been, but Alex wasn't too sure what the big deal was. Hell, she'd nearly given him a heart attack and that was all it was.

"Okay?" She gave him a pitying look like he was a small child who was too young to fully understand the gravity of the situation.  
"Alex I mean I've _met_ someone." She repeated. "I... I think I'm falling in love." _Oh._

Alex just blinked a couple of times, not too sure what to say. "I know this must come as a bit of a shock." She said when it became apparent Alex wasn't going to say anything. "I promise you, nothing's happened between us. We met through work and we exchanged numbers. We got talking... I just... I don't know what to tell you. I feel terrible."

Alex wasn't sure how to play this. He could completely freak out, scream at her, end things and never even mention Jack. That seemed disingenuous and wrong though. She was being honest with him now, and she hadn't technically even done anything wrong. She deserved the truth no matter how much Alex didn't want to say it.

"Don't do that to yourself." He said finally. "You can't control how you feel." She seems to relax a little at that.   
"I know. I just feel so lost." She admitted. "I mean it's not like I don't love you. I do, I just... I don't know. It all feels so new and exciting. I... I don't want to follow it only to end up heartbroken and regretting it."   
"You should go for it."

She looked genuinely shocked at his words. "What?" She managed to sound offended despite the situation and Alex was forced to take a breath, his heart was beating rapidly and a very large part of him wanted to just hang up. _Time for some honesty._

"Look Lis... I was planning on doing this is in person but... well since we're being honest." Her face was a mask as his words hang heavy between them. "Oh, Jesus." He muttered, rubbing a hand over his face. "Okay look. I uh, I've sort of been sleeping with Jack." Her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped. "Since I was fifteen." She didn't seem to know whether to laugh or burst into tears and it made Alex feel terrible. _At least she can't throw the ring at me like this._

"I'm sorry." She said finally. "You've been cheating on me with Jack?"  
"Technically I think I've been cheating on him with you." It was the wrong thing to say and only served to infuriate her.  
"Excuse me?!" Alex sighed. He really didn't know how to explain this.

"Jack was my first." He admitted, not really sure why he was telling her that. "We've always kind of had this unspoken romantic thing between us. I don't wanna call it an open relationship but... I mean I guess that's the closest thing to it. We'd never really spoken about it or anything before today." He admitted.   
"Oh, so you woke up today and decided today was the day to be honest with everyone you're fucking? Christ, we've been together on and off since high school! All that time?" Alex just nodded. He wasn't proud of it; he still couldn't quite believe how things had ended up in such a mess.

"Shit." She muttered, slumping back against the couch. Alex had sudden vision's of fucking Jack on it a few months back when she was away for work and Jack had been in town visiting family. Now was definitely not the time to mention it.

"For what it's worth I'm sorry." She gave him a long look.   
"What exactly are you apologising for here? For starting a relationship with me when you already had a boyfriend? Or for letting things go on for so long? Or for proposing to me when you had no intention of marrying me?" That surprised him.   
"I had every intention of marrying you." She scoffed. "I'm serious. I do love you, Lis, I just... today I realised that it doesn't matter. I can't give you what you want when a part of me will always belong to him. It's not fair on either of you. Jack, he...well he's always been the one. I just never realised it before today, it all just kinda hit me. He's my soul mate Lis."

The wind seemed to have gone from her sales and she sagged. "How can you not realise you're in love with someone?" Alex was more than aware of how ridiculous it all sounded. "I don't know." He admitted. "I guess it's always just been there. I mean, we were just kids, we didn't know any better. Suddenly it's thirteen years later and nothing's changed. I suppose we couldn't ignore it forever." It was a pathetic excuse and he knew it but it was the only one he had.

"Look." He sighed. "I'll be back in Baltimore in a couple of weeks, I'll grab my stuff then while you're at work or something." She seemed a little confused at first before the realisation sets in. "Right. Of course, you're moving out. Why don't you just send me his address and I'll box it up and send it all via courier."

Her tone was bitter and Alex gave a sigh. "Don't make this harder than it already is." She rolled her eyes.   
"Right, wouldn't want to make things difficult for you and lover boy."   
"Okay, let's keep some perspective here. Let's not forget you did call me up to tell me you've fallen in love with another guy." She gave him a dark look. "Yes, but I wasn't planning on doing anything about it." Alex rolled his eyes.  
"Well, now you can go and live a happy life with no regrets and see where it goes." Her nostrils flared as she exhaled heavily.  
"My friends always told me I was making a mistake dating you."

With that, she hung up and Alex sighed. He dropped the phone on the bed and buried his face in his hands. _That was a disaster._

When he re-entered the living area he found Jack blushing whilst Rian laughed hard and Zack shook his head. "What do you mean you 'didn't know'? How could you possibly not know?" Jack sighed, clearly regretting whatever conversation he had walked in on.  
"We were just kids okay? Besides it's not like we ever spoke about it!"

He turned to Alex with a sigh. "How'd it go?" Rian fought hard to control his giggles as Zack gave him an expectant look.  
"About as shitty as expected." He admitted. "But considering she originally phoned me to tell me she'd developed feelings for some guy she works with it could have been worse."

Zack's jaw dropped as Jack's eyes widened in shock. "So did you end things or just agree to all fuck each other and be cool with it?" He sent Rian a dark look as he fought hard not to start laughing again. "We broke things off. I'm gonna pick up my stuff when we're back in Baltimore. Have to hire a moving van or something." Jack took a hold of his hand and squeezed it gently.   
"Are you okay?" He asked quietly, eyes full of concern. Alex just nodded.   
"Yeah. It's done now, so we can start focusing on us."

The listening party went well. The fans loved the album and they all had a lot of fun just spending time with them. It had been a while since they'd had any real interactions with them beyond the shows.

They were all in a good mood and there was plenty of banter and jokes throughout. Everything just felt right with the world in a way it hadn't in a long time. Alex was perfectly content for the first time since he'd started this whole mess. He'd finally connected the dots and gotten the full picture and it was beautiful.
